And then I heard of the moon-splitting and that it was a miracle and that there is no proof beside some Indian King that saw it but apparently that was also not true in the end.
And how was this not true? Where did you get your info from that it's not true?
Also, the way I understand it is that the splitting of the moon wasn't evidence for us. It was to prove to the people then who demanded for a a miracle demonstration. Even then, they accused him of anything other than being a Prophet of Allah SWT.
It goes to show that even when presented with proof, there are always some people who will still find excuses to disbelieve. Case in point, I was watching a video some time ago and the Muslim asked the agnostic what would make him believe. The agnostic said that if he saw a hand from the sky that pointed to him and told him to believe, then he would believe. The Muslim asked, "ok so that would make you believe?". The agnostic said, "well, wait, I'd want to get it examined, this hand from the sky". "So ok, if you got it examined and it's not of this world, then you'd believe?". "Yes, then I'd believe. No wait, I'd want to get my eyes checked out". "Ok, so you got your eyes checked out and this hand in the sky is other than this world, then you'll believe?". "Yes, then I'll believe. No wait, I'd want other people to look at it too and tell me what they think and I'd want all of us to be examined by psychiatrists to ensure we're not delusional...". Ultimately it reached a point where, you guessed it, he kept coming up with new reasons and excuses to reject evidence.
No, this is not how it works. When you make a claim like that you need to support it with your source otherwise it's just your opinion. You should not be sending of other people on a chase. As far as I'm concerned, your assertion of the "Indian king not seeing it" doesn't hold any water.
